Wet and Slippery!

This is a great natural feeling lube; it is so great in fact that I forgot that I had been using lube, and once on, I never thought about it again. If you struggle to stay wet this may not be your best choice; however if you need a little extra wetness to get the ball rolling, this would be a great lube to buy.

watery, natural feelingworks well with natural wetnesslasted a decent amount

This is a great water-based lubricant for sex and masturbation. This is best for those who just need a little something to get going rather than for people who need lubrication throughout. I would not recommend this for men because of this. I didn't find this lube any better than my usual lube or any more enjoyable. It seemed to be wet, slippery, and helped with getting the sex going. So, I cannot complain about that.

This is nothing spectacular in my opinion, but it works, so I am happy about that. Overall, I will probably continue to use this lube if there's a little momentary dry spell.

This has some natural ingredients including aloe vera, but does contain both glycerin and parabens. If you have sensitive skin, please look over the ingredients list there are some things that could trigger a reaction.

Ingredients:Aloe vera: This is found in many natural, organic lubes and is supposed to be great.
Nettle extract: This has been found to have a soothing effect. It might be the cause of the sweet smell others have described and the light taste.
Rosemary extract: It is said this is an antimicrobial agent which would be nice for microbial tears.
Balm mint extract: This is meant to be soothing
Ginseng extract: Same as before.
Water: This is the base.
Glycerin: This helps make the lube slippery. HOWEVER, if you have a sensitive vagina, this may increase your chances of getting a yeast infection.
Hydroxyethyl: This is a cellulose thickening agent used in many cosmetics. It comes from cotton.
Ethylcellulose: Another cellulose thickening agent, found frequently in food.
Diazolidinyl urea: Could not find the purpose for this, found in anal and various natural lubes
Carbopol: This is a polymer used as a thickener and stabilizer and used in a variety of personal care products.
Sodium benzoate: Used in the food industry frequently, it is an antimicrobacterial agent.
Methylparaben: This is a food preservative and a fungicide to help shelf life of food and cosemestics. There have been studies that show links to breast tumors, skin cell death, eye damage, and male infertility.Article on thatPEG 6-32: The Wiki breakdown This is a polyether that is used in medicine such as laxatives.
Triethanolamine: It is a base used to stabilize the pH The breakdown for Tri..Nonylphenol: Cannot find a good reason for this in here, but I'm sure there is a reason it's in lube. Here is the background on it.Citric acid: Found in various lubes, used to stabilize the pH level.

I found this website has a good layout of what ingredients are good and which are petrochemicals.

This is how far the lubricant slide down my hand at this angle after 5 seconds. It had no sticking power at all. It is really runny making it hard for me to recommend this for using with toys since runny lube tends to get everywhere, and I hate that.

Here is my hand after 30 seconds of rubbing it into my skin. It completely dried after 60 seconds with no sticky residue left over on my hand.

This lube fared quite well on the tip of my finger compared to the hand test that I ran. After 15 seconds, it did not move at all.

This is extremely slippery, a little bit more than my natural wetness. This is easy to get out of the bottle due to the pump top. I used two pumps, and sloshed that on and we were ready to go. I loved how convenient it was to remove from the bottle. It allowed no pauses in action which can always dampen the mood when you are stuck trying get the lube out and have to stop.

It was hard for me to truly tell how long this lube lasted based off of the experience I recently had with it. It blended in with my natural wetness so well that once things got going I didn't think about it once until it was all said and over with. That being said, I must confess that I GENERALLY do not need lube for the duration of sex once things start to get going. I like it in the beginning especially if there is not much time for foreplay.

The times in which that is not true is generally when something less than ideal is occurring or things are taking 20-45 minutes. Then I need a touch up here and there. I would probably not recommend this lube if you struggle to stay wet but rather if you want a little extra something something in the beginning.

I put some in my SO's condom prior to sex, and he did not feel any difference. I found it to be extremely thin which I am not used to. This isn't bad for vaginal sex because it is so much like your natural wetness that it flows with it. I also used this lube for my duotone balls; it worked well for that. I would not recommend this for anal sex and seems a little too messy for vibrators.

Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore2 months after original review

This ended up getting tackier than I was comfortable with, so I gave it to a friend, who has been enjoying more than I. I would not get this product again if I had the choice because I prefer thicker lube.

Great review. I thought this looked pretty watery in the bottle. Glad I didn't get it. I don't think it'd be thick enough for my preferences. Thanks for the heads up.
